Ear

The ear is designed to detect different aspects of sound such as loudness, pitch and location. The ear is divided into three parts: the external ear, the inner ear and the middle ear. The external ear is divided into the auricle, the visible ear flap on the side of the head, and the ear canal, a tube leading from the auricle into the temporal bone. There are sweat glands in the ear canal which secrete earwax. MORE! [CG] {NR}
